全球學術人才競逐態勢激烈與日遽增，亞太地區尤為其中之最。然而各地，特別是台灣地區，對教師留任重要性之認知相當有限。本研究因此冀望透過台灣高等教育師資境內與境外移動之意圖研究，建立我國大學教師移動之模型，藉以預測其未來之移動行為。 本研究係以貨幣與非貨幣因素，探討影響教師境內與境外移動之因果關係。研究對象為7所公、私立大學理學院與工學院1716位專任助理教授以上師資，有效問卷計333份，樣本回收率19.41%。 研究結果顯示，我國高等教育師資之境內移動傾向係受非貨幣因素影響，對任職學校工作環境、專業發展機會滿意度愈低，尤其是行政負擔愈繁重、研究水準愈低及學校對其職涯發展正面影響愈有限情況下，教師境內移動傾向愈高。相較境內移動傾向為非貨幣因素影響所致，境外移動傾向則係受貨幣性因素影響。對任職學校薪資合理性不滿意且重視邀約學校高薪資條件者，其境外移動傾向較高。境外移動偏好仍為大學，地區則以美國為首選，其他依次為新加坡、香港與中國大陸。有境外移動意圖之教師普遍認為，上述地區發展機會與薪資待遇均較台灣為優。 Despite the growing competition for academic talent around the world, specifically in the Asia-Pacific region, there is limited understanding of the importance of faculty retention, especially in Taiwan. This paper intends to explore a mobility model for Taiwanese faculty, using the faculty’s intention to leave as a predictor of their future local and international mobility. It investigates how monetary and non-monetary factors influence the faculty members’ intention to move between institutions within Taiwan and abroad. The data needed for this study are collected from e-questionnaires mailed to the e-mail addresses of 1716 full-time faculty members in the science and engineering schools of 7 universities, and 333 useable questionnaires were returned, reflecting a 19.41% response rate. The findings of this research work are as follows: Non-monetary factors are determinants of the faculty members’ intention to change jobs. Those who are dissatisfied with their present job and opportunities for professional development, especially with the workload, administrative responsibility, research level, impact of institutions, are more likely to move to other institutions. Monetary factors are, however, important determinants of cross-border mobility. Those who are dissatisfied with their salary scale and attach high importance to potential new positions are more inclined to work abroad. The first choice of institutions for faculty members in Taiwan comprises higher educational institutions in the United States, followed by higher educational institutions in Singapore, Hong Kong, and mainland China. In their opinion, career perspectives in the abovementioned countries are much more promising than in Taiwan.
